Numbers don't lie

I know it is tres early (as Joe would say) in the season, but have you checked
out Griffin's stat line lately?

37 mpg, 50% fg, 74% ft, 10.9 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 4.4 apg, 1.8 to/g, 2.4 spg. 

About the only conceivable negative is his 3 point %, at 33.3. He is 24th in
the league in rebounding and 7th in steals. (BTW, we are the only team with 4
players in the top 30 in steals -- Pierce is 12th, Antoine is 20th and Kenny
is 27th.)

The much-maligned Kenny also deserves some credit from the national press.
He's scoring 16.4 ppg on 47% shooting (46% from three and 83% from the line);
and dishing 4.6 apg with a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio. He is as responsible
as anybody for the games we've won.
